Ahhhh, yes, of course. I wonder if shift-drag might not be appropriate
for such uses, to split out that functionality from selection? I mean,
how many times have you tried to draw a box around something, and
found yourself dragging a way??

Given that the behavior is pernicious enough to warrant a protection
warning, maybe it shouldn't be on the bare "drag" action?
